API-First Development with RAML

In this workshop we'll develop a real-world API together using RAML to define the interface and API consumer experience before even thinking about the implementation. In doing this we'll cover the powerful design-first features of RAML as well as the tooling available to facilite this approach. Finally we'll implement and test our new API.
